Woke

A lot of folks say they woke, what they speakin' bout? They don't really know the truth, they just seekin' clout Wannabe insomniacs, swear they never sleepin' sound No research, just tweet and it's so easy now Bunch of sheep run with it like receiver routes Next thing you know the lies spreading like diseases now Any dissension and you leave it out You only speaking to people about the things that you agree about Regurgitating information from your echo chamber Overrating people's statements just because they famous That clapback look good, but what they really saying? I can't recall when popularity meant validation Drape a blanket on a person when they make a statement Don't dispute the phrases, you just gotta say they racist And if they're POC you just say it's self hatred Then wonder why you see the same things and nothing's changing Boy you really think you woke when your mind's broke Every single thing you wrote is somebody quote Everything you thought somebody thought before I think you forgot how to think on your own Staring at your Twitter through your iPhone See another protest you cosign on In your feelings, middle finger to the five-O Think that really makes you woke, boy you not though When Mike Brown got shot what was y'all response? Y'all got up and burned down the entire block That's black businesses hurt, now he ain't got a job And can't feed his kids all because your temper hot Let's talk about that resentment that you feel inside The rich privileged white man should be vilified They out to get you right? So tell me how y'all gunned down triple XXX and George Zimmerman is still alive? Y'all popped Smoke and took the Hussle from Nipsey No riots, no noise like a lip sync I ain't never visualized folks so unified When a human dies by someone looking like you and I Look at the hoods, Planned Parenthoods on every side Call it women's rights to determine if you live or die That's a disguise in my eyes for legal genocide Murders everywhere while you continue to sleep at night Boy you really think you woke when your mind's broke Every single thing you wrote is somebody quote Everything you thought somebody thought before I think you forgot how to think on your own Staring at your Twitter through your iPhone See another protest you cosign on In your feelings, middle finger to the five-O Think that really makes you woke, boy you not though Mass media controlling all the crap you see It's a travesty how they sensationalize tragedy Now that's your reality, you walk outside thinking that's what's happening I see what they're doing, it ain't no trapping me Being woke ain't about the best conspiracies It's the ability to think independently Cuz we don't know all that happened in the past it's a mystery That's not an excuse to make up history Always tryna change the past, what does that do? Focused on school names and taking down statues? Should be tryna change the laws and the statutes Running off emotion disregarding what the facts prove Being woke in 2020 is deceiving All I'm seeing is a philosophy of convenience No real reason for things that you believe in You think you woke, well then I don't know what sleep is Boy you really think you woke when your mind's broke Every single thing you wrote is somebody quote Everything you thought somebody thought before I think you forgot how to think on your own Staring at your Twitter through your iPhone See another protest you cosign on In your feelings, middle finger to the five-O Think that really makes you woke, boy you not though
